Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

The lightfoot boys are laid;
For golden friends I had,
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
For many a rose-lipt maiden
In fields where roses fade.
And many a lightfoot lad.
By brooks too broad for leaping
With rue my heart is laden
